Superação
Superar desafios, dificuldades e tentações faz parte da caminhada cristã. A Bíblia nos garante que, em Cristo, somos mais que vencedores em todas as circunstâncias.
Vitória em Cristo
Jesus já venceu o mundo. Nele temos coragem, paz e a certeza de que nenhuma adversidade poderá nos derrotar definitivamente.
I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world."
I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world."
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
because everyone who has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith.
For this is what love for God is: to keep his commands. And his commands are not a burden, because everyone who has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith.
Who is the one who conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Who is the one who conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
They conquered him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony;
for they did not love their lives
to the point of death.
Superando o mal com o bem
O cristão vence o mal não com violência, mas com o bem. O amor, a fé e a perseverança são as armas da superação.
Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it.
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in Christ’s triumphal procession and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place.
Anyone you forgive, I do too. For what I have forgiven — if I have forgiven anything — it is for your benefit in the presence of Christ, so that we may not be taken advantage of by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his schemes.
"To the one who conquers I will give the right to sit with me on my throne,just as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
"To the one who conquers I will give the right to sit with me on my throne,just as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
"In the same way, the one who conquerswill be dressed in white clothes,and I will never erase his name from the book of lifebut will acknowledge his name before my Father and before his angels.
Força e coragem divina
Deus é nosso escudo e fortaleza. Quando o medo tenta nos paralisar, a presença do Senhor nos fortalece e nos encoraja a prosseguir.
The Lord is my light and my salvation —
whom should I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life —
whom should I dread?
But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
For I do not trust in my bow,
and my sword does not bring me victory.
But you give us victory over our foes
and let those who hate us be disgraced.
We boast in God all day long;
we will praise your name forever. Selah
Lord, save us!
Lord, please grant us success!
He who comes in the name
of the Lord is blessed.
From the house of the Lord we bless you.
See, the Lord your God has set the land before you. Go up and take possession of it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has told you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.
For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.’
You will keep the mind that is dependent on you
in perfect peace,
for it is trusting in you.
I am able to do all things through him who strengthens me.
You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Resistindo a tentação
A armadura de Deus nos protege contra as investidas do mal. Resistir ao diabo, vigiar e orar são essenciais para a superação espiritual.
Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens. For this reason take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand. Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace. In every situation take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit — which is the word of God.
to take off , your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires, to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on , the new self, the one created according to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.
Be angry and do not sin., Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, and don’t give the devil an opportunity.
Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Blessed is the one who endures trials, because when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
No one undergoing a trial should say, "I am being tempted by God," since God is not tempted by evil, and he himself doesn’t tempt anyone. But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desire. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.
No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to bear it.
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of eternal life to which you were called and about which you have made a good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction.
Perseverança até o fim
A corrida da fé exige perseverança. Devemos lançar fora todo peso e olhar para Jesus, o autor e consumador da nossa fé.
Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every hindrance and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us,
For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that you won’t grow weary and give up.
For since he himself has suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
Be sober-minded, be alert. Your adversary the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world.
The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little while.
Be sober-minded, be alert. Your adversary the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour.
Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
The Lord will rescue me from every evil work and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
Descanso e renovação
Jesus convida os cansados e sobrecarregados a descansar nele. Sua graça é suficiente para nos renovar em meio às tribulações.
"Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Keep your life free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for he himself has said, I will never leave you or abandon you.,
For nothing will be impossible with God."
"Why are you sleeping? " he asked them. "Get up and pray, so that you won’t fall into temptation."
When he reached the place, he told them, "Pray that you may not fall into temptation."
Look, I have given you the authorityto trampleon snakesand scorpionsand over all the power of the enemy;nothing at all will harm you.
Stay awake and prayso that you won’t enter into temptation.,The spiritis willing, but the fleshis weak."
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
Shout in triumph, Daughter Jerusalem!
Look, your King is coming to you;
he is righteous and victorious,
humble and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
The one who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the devil’s works.
I am writing to you, little children,
since your sins have been forgiven
on account of his name.
I am writing to you, fathers,
because you have come to know
the one who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men,
because you have conquered the evil one.
I have written to you, children,
because you have come to know the Father.
I have written to you, fathers,
because you have come to know
the one who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men,
because you are strong,
God’s word remains in you,
and you have conquered the evil one.
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Don’t you know that your bodies are a part of Christ’s body? So should I take a part of Christ’s body and make it part of a prostitute? Absolutely not! Don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute is one body with her? For Scripture says, The two will become one flesh.,But anyone joined to the Lord is one spirit with him.
Flee sexual immorality! Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the person who is sexually immoral sins against his own body. Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought at a price. So glorify God with your body.
I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want.
